Do you want to invest in real estate, but you live somewhere that’s way too expensive?

Have you been “dabbling” in other markets, casually looking at cheaper deals and thinking about pulling the trigger?

This seems to be the case for a large amount of the people I talk to right now. Their market is too expensive and competitive, so they’re sort of stuck in a holding pattern, waiting to see what happens.

They are possibly even envious of others who are still investing in more affordable markets.

I know I was.

When Nashville dried up, I did the same thing. I got mad while simultaneously watching other investors move to other markets like Clarksville, Chattanooga, and Huntsville. They were still succeeding and I was stubbornly hanging around trying to pretend like Nashville could still work as a rental market.

It wasn’t until I decided to stop that nonsense and model what they were doing that I was able to start buying houses...
